Man Investments will take over the management of the Emirates Islamic Alternative Strategies Fund, with the assets allocated to the Man GLG Multi-Strategy Fund, as Emirates NBD Asset Management looks to grow the product.
“If we don’t raise $50 million-$100 million in a year’s time, I will be disappointed,” Deon Vernooy, senior executive officer of Emirates NBD Asset Management, told reporters at a press conference.
The Emirates Islamic Alternative Strategies Fund is currently worth $20 million, Vernooy said. (Reporting By David French, Editing by Dinesh Nair)
